Inquest on the C, d A. Disaster.

HUNTINGTON. Ind, October 12.-The
testimony before the coroner's jury here rs
to the horrible collision on the Chicago &
Atlantic railroad near Kouts' Station.
began with the deposition OF J.B. Park,
conductor of the passenger train. i:etesti-
fed that his train was nearly two hours
late, having broken an eccentric strap on
the engine between Hurlburt and Boone
Grove. I'VE stopped for water east OF
Boone Grove" he continued. land in three
minutes train number 4S struck us on the
rear end and telescoped the sleeper into the
ladies' car. smok r aud baggage car. The
wreck took fire at once. We got eighteen
passengers cut Nine were killed ard
burned. The semaphore lamp was turned
when we stopped. l did not know the
freight train was coming. " hen it struck
US it was running at the rate OF twenty
miles per hour" All the train men ex-
amined claimed the night WAS foggy and
that the danger signal could not be seen
until they were right upon them.
cAsKE1 FOR THE RENAME
It is about settled that no one will ever
know definitely nov many persons persisted
in the Chicago & Atlantic horror, and esti-
mates continue to vary from thirty down
to ten. One more of the victims has beer
identified, a Miss Malone, who left Chicago
Monday night en- route for Ireland. The
bodies of DR.. Perry, his wife and Oh Id,
we're so reduced bv the action of the fl mes
that they were easily gotten into a box
four feet long by fourteen inches deep.
During the morning an undertaken drove
into Kouts with three cheap caskets.
One was for the supposed remain OF A.
Lindbourg. who was crushed ir the shat
tered freight cars. In one of the others
were placed the in~cinerated bones OF the
Perry family. and the third vas assigned
to Miss Malone. The victims were tempo.
rarily inferred in the peaceful grounds a

News Of the Day.

WASHINGTON, October 12.-Preston H.
Leslie. Governor of Montana Territory, in
his annual report to the Secretary of the
Interior, estimates the present population
OF Montana at $50. 900. an increase of TO-
ooO during the past year. The present
year has been o favorable Of produc-
ton OF all staple crops. The yields with.
out irrigation have been very large. On
the subject of stock raising, the Governor
says that prior to the present year, this in.
dustry was in q most prosperous condi.
ton, but the last terrible winter was most
disastrous. In consequence OF this ex-
perience stockmen hav- turned their atten-
ton to the production OF grasses.
THE GOVERNOR ESTIMATES
the number OF cattle at 1.4OO. 900; horses,
10000; sheep. 1000, 900, all of high
grade. One million dollars worth of wool
has been produced and shipped this year.
Total assessed value OF taxable property is
$62 .O0O, 900. There we're increased invest
ments in mining. A conservative estimate
OF the yield OF the mines in gold. silver. lead
and copper for the last year is $26, OOO.-
600. Coal has become an important ele-
ment in the mining industries in the Terri
tory. The Governor says he has informa-
ton that large areas of lands donated to
the State by the Government for school
purposes are now unlawfuliy occupied by
PERSONS who fence them in and live upon
their products greatly to theinjury of prop
erty. He asks all such persons to be imme-
diate!y compelled to vacate. He recon-
mends the establishment OF a refinery in
connection with the United States Assay
Office at Helena.
OF TIE INDIANS
he Jays there has been little trouble or
danger except for occasional horse-stealing
raids and counter-raids among the Piegans
and Crows, and similar performances once
in a while by Bloods and Blackfeet. in
which white mems property is occasionally
stolen. These outraees, says the Cover
nor, tend naturally to rouse a spirit Of
belligerent form in the early future If n t
avoided by prompt and firm measures to
prevent the recurrence Of these pillagingex-
petitions. In conclusion, the report says:
"MOntana's interests have been greatly
cramped and her progress much retarded
on account of thu alien land laws. That
law, so far as it has or will prevent aliens
from grasping and holding great and extern
sive areas of land, may be unobjection-
n able. But the provisions under which the
capitalist is prevented from invest
ment in, and from development of our
mines are a great weight and hindrance to
people,.

Value of White Topaz.

The white topaz found near Pike,
Peak is almost equal in value to the
diamond. Not many people know this
but 1 found a topaz on the banks of the
Platte river last summer and sent it t<
a lapidary in New York to have it cut
It weighed 1928 carats, and the lapidary
sent buck word that he would give me
$500 for it.. I refused the offer, and in
vestigation disclosed the fact that if J
had sold the stone it would have found
its way into some OF the large jewelry
stores of the metropolis, where, cut into
innumerable small stones, it would
have been offered for sale as genuine
diamonds. Clear white topaz is worth
90 a carat. A three or four carat, well.
cut stone will cost you $50 or $40. The
white topaz has the brilliancy and
hardness of the diamond, and differs
from it only in being somewhat trans.
parent. Its angle of refraction differs
only slightly from that Of the diamond
1t is rare, too.-G. r. Robert in st

On one important point tia /.

1t is best to wear dark clothing in ~

the other hand. it is well establisbsa
by scientific experiments that .d,,l
colors draw the heat and light ou,,
repel it," as DR.. Parker asserts. D,
Edson's statement may. therefore Il
open to some qualification.
For people very much exposed On,

rently the best Ganot, the Frens
physicist says: THE most sultan

that which experience has taught ,
to use, namely. white, for 1t absors
less of the suns rays than blas
clothing. and hence feels cooler
The solar heat absorbed by the bod
through dark clothing when in suI
shine is greater that the amount
heat which the body emits through d
dark textures, especially when il
air is very humid, as it usually is
our most dangerous summer weaths
Pettenkofer's experiments show til
black cotton shifting exposed to Il
sun absorbed two hundred and eig
heat units. while the same mater
colored white and similarly expos
absorbed only one hundred heat unit
As in many Of our hot spells d

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
Cotton Seed as a Fertilizer.

The chief value of cotton seed. or
cotton-seed meal, is due to the pres
ence Of large percentage of nitrogen.
1t is emphatically heterogeneous ma
nure. containing 2. so per cent of am
monia and only one per cent OF phos-
phoric acid, and /. rs per cent of pot
ash. Therefore it is not generally
good practice to apply cotton seed or
the cotton-seed meal alone un-
less to a special crop which requires
ahighly heterogeneous manure. Whether
it is better to use cotton seed whole, or
crushed. or the ground kernel mot
expressed). or the cotton-seed meal.
are questions which depend mainly on
the cost Of handling. freights and ma.
chinery. If the relative agricultural
value of these different forms of cotton
seed and their component parts be
known it need not be difficult mat
ter for the average farmer to deter
mine what to do. The following table
of analyses and relative values of the
different forms will aid in solving the
question::

STRAWBERRY CRATES AND

We are manufacturers agents for
the Delaware Patent Berry Crates
and Fruit Baskets of the various
sizes and classes, and by handling
them in car loads, we are enabled to
sell and deliver these goods to the
fruit growers and truckers Of the
Eastern Shore at factory prices.
In addition to the 3 bushel bas-
ket used for shipping peaches,pears,
apples, ETC., we are having ]
barrel size covered basket manu-
featured expressly for green peas,
snap beans, sweet potatoes, and all
vegetables that require ventilated
packages for transportation. A
trial will convince all of the superior
merits of these packages, and they
are destined to supply the place of
barrels for shipping perishable veg
etables. Would advise those de.
string 20 use these baskets for
green peas to order at once, as the
crop will probably be large and we
may run short late in season. We
shall endeavor to keep supply of.
crates and baskets Oh hand through
the berry season to supply the
trade. Will have large orders
filed direct from factory, freight
prepaid to station desired. Prices
and terms given ON application.
